Bend element for a waterslide

Bend element for a flume-type waterslide, the bend element defining a bend with a bent sliding path for a rider between a bend-entry portion and a bend-exit portion of the bend element, wherein the bend element, in an apex region of the bend, has an asymmetric geometry in cross section, in which a radius in cross section is increased on its outer side, which increased radius is greater than a radius in cross section of the bend element on its inner side, wherein the bend-entry portion and the bend-exit portion have axes of entry into the bend and of exit from the bend that cross each other at an inner bend-angle of at least 90°, wherein in the cross section of the bend element, a vertical line intersecting a bottom of the bend element at its lowest point delimits the outer side from the inner side, characterized in that the cross section of the bend element, in the apex region, comprises an outer bottom section and an inner bottom section, wherein the outer bottom section extends from the lowest point in an outward direction to an outer point, in which the outer bottom section or its tangent line has an inclination of relative to a horizontal along the lowest point, and wherein the inner bottom section extends from the lowest point in an inward direction to an inner point that has the same distance from the lowest point, measured in the vertical direction, as the outer point, wherein a perpendicular distance between the outer point and the vertical line is larger by a factor of at least 1.2 than the perpendicular distance between the inner point and said vertical line.
